Hello,<br><br>I try to understand, how the LDAP-Indexes work.<br><br>If I configure a Index for a Attribute like:<br><br>index myAttribute eq<br><br>the index file myAttribute.bdb is build in the data directory.<br><br>When I search then<br>
<br>ldapsearch -x -h localhost -D&quot;..&quot; -b&quot;&lt;baseDN&gt;&quot; &quot;(myAttribute=&lt;searched key&gt;)&quot;<br><br>how will the LDAP-Server process this request?<br><br>Is there anywhere a good documentation?<br>
<br>My assumption is:<br>* At first, a the Index is looked up. The result are only the matched IDs.<br>* The LDAP-Server  now can quick give back all entires form id2enty.bdb<br><br>If I use Indexes, are all other entires are examined too after give back the result from indexes?<br>
<br><br>I have a database, and my search is like shown above. The search takes long. The cache is configured, the size is enough<br>(approx. dn2id.bdb + id2entry.bdb).<br>But what I see, is that the write IO from LDAP is enormously (seen with iotop). During the whole search, the write IO is higher than the read IO.<br>
Why?<br><br>Thanks for help.<br><br><br>Steeg<br>
